FOX upfronts are the way and they have released their Fall 2014 schedule. Some changes were made but not many. The biggest change FOX made to its schedule was Animation Domination Sunday is done. The animated block that consisted of The Simpsons, Family Guy and 2 other animated shows has been a staple on FOX’s schedule for almost 10 years. While they will still have an animated hour of programming on Sundays, they will now have an hour of comedy. Speaking of comedy, they have also wisely dismantled their two-hour Tuesday comedy block that like NBC’s Thursday night has seen better days.
There were some great looks on the carpet and some just meh looks. Not many outright bad dresses this year. It made it a little difficult to come up with a worst or best dressed.
Best
Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs)
Glenn Close looked great yesterday. I think this is the best she has looked in a while. It’s just very age appropriate and fits her body very well. Her makeup and jewelry are great as well.
The dresses at the SAGs weren’t as amazing or as the ones at the Globes but there were still a few standouts and even more disasters.
Best Dressed
Regina King (Southland)
Makeup, color of dress, hair is all perfection. She looks so flawless. Love it.
Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, The Devil Wears Prada)
This dress isn’t anything super amazing but I love the color on her and she was one of the better dressed at the show.
Octavia Spencer (The Help)
Love this look on her. The hair and makeup are great and she just looks beautiful. She has gotten it right all awards season and I can’t wait to see her looks at the next awards show.
Ashley Simpson
Never thought I would say these words but she looks so great. This is the best I’ve ever seen her look. I love her hair and makeup. The beading on the dress is also really great. It’s simple yet fabulous.
Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn)
Simple red elegance.
Viola Davis (The Help, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close)
This woman has been killing me softly this entire awards season. Simply perfection here. I didn’t think she could get any better than 2 weeks ago at the Globes but here she does it again. Best dressed of the night for me.
Worst Dressed
Nothing needs to be said about these looks. Just look at the picture.
Shailene Woodley (The Descendants, The Secret Life of An American Teenager)Jenna Ushkowitz (Glee)Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Takers)
Ok so I’m gonna say something about this one. This looks so cheap and I bet it cost an arm and a leg. I mean what the hell was she thinking. Ughh and is that a wife beater?? WTH?
Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory)Lea Michele (Glee)
I just can’t with Lea Michele anymore. She just tries entirely too hard. Her look at the Globes was a mess and too sexy for a girl who can’t pull it off and this one is just the same. I just I can’t anymore with her.
Busy Philipps (Cougar Town)
This makes me sad because I love her but man is this dress ugly. Just really really ugly. Worst dressed of the night.
